Video head, tape transport system, and pinch roller cleaned. Drive unit greased. Rotary encoder disassembled and cleaned. Loading motor motor joint repaired. Playback confirmed with commercially available VHS tapes. Fast forward and rewind work without problems.

Disassembled and cleaned. There are scratches and dirt that do not affect operation. ● Initial defects (power does not turn on, included 8mm tape cannot be played) will be addressed. ● Please check the operation with the included 8mm tape. If the 8mm tape is in poor condition, playback may not be possible (noise, tape tangling, condensation, etc.). If the included 8mm tape can be played, the transaction will be considered complete. Playback of your own tapes is at your own risk. ● Ideal for playing back your Hi-8 and VHS tapes, and for dubbing to DVD, Blu-ray, HDD, etc. ● If you have SONY ME type tapes, the heads will get dirty quickly when playing them. It is better not to play them. MP type tapes are not a problem. ● Price negotiations are not possible. ● Please refrain from purchasing if you cannot leave new comments. ● Operation has been confirmed in its current state, but as it is a used item, there is a possibility of malfunctions due to transport vibration. Please understand. ● Please receive the item within 3 days of arrival. ● It may end early as it is also listed on other sites. ● Bidding from Hokkaido and Okinawa is not allowed. This is because initial defect support cannot be provided due to long travel times.
